The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the sky containing great stars 1 By the promised Day (of Judgment); 2 And the bearer of witness and those against whom the witness is borne. 3 The companions of the pit were killed 4 by a burning fire 5 when they were seated around it 6 And to that which they did to the believers were witnesses. 7 Against these they had no grudge except that they believed in Allah, the Most Mighty, the Most Praiseworthy, 8 To Him only belongs the kingship of the heavens and the earth; and Allah is a Witness over all things. 9 Those who persecute the believing men and women without repenting will suffer the torment of hell and that of the burning fire. 10 As for the righteously striving believers, they will live in Paradise wherein streams flow. This is the greatest triumph. 11 Verily, (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) the Grip (Punishment) of your Lord is severe. 12 It is He who originates and repeats. 13 And He is the Oft-Forgiving, Full of Loving-Kindness, 14 Lord of the Throne, the All-glorious, 15 Executor of His own will. 16 Have you not heard about the stories of the armies 17 Of the Fir'awn and the Thamud? 18 But those who disbelieve are engaged in denial. 19 And Allah is after them, has them surrounded. 20 Nay, but it is a glorious Qur'an. 21 that exists in a well-guarded tablet. 22
